I am a long time ford dealer mechanic, since the late 70's and a decade ago I decided to build a car, since at the dealer I had been rebuilding several customer fords from the 60's-70's and enjoyed doing this. this car was solid with no drivetrain and built this for myself. this car is kind of a 'what if' car if ford had built a low priced falcon muscle car in 1970. so with this idea this car with that in mind. loosely based with ford era parts bin parts used. 9 inch 3:50 gear rear axle from a early bronco was used, 11 inch drum brakes, moser axles to obtain a 4 1/2 5 bolt pattern as used on ford cars. shelby mustang style traction bars, lowered rear springs. front suspension totally rebuilt, lowered springs, granada disc brakes, maverick master cylinder, adjustable porportioning valve. 15x7 inch steel wheels(mopar). borgensen power steering was added to make it easy to drive without the troublesome sloppy power steering ram used on fords of this era. engine is a late 80s 5.0L h.o. roller cam engine and t-5 5 spd manual test motor collecting dust on a pallet, added a e-303 cam, p- heads, roller rockers, 600 cfm edelbrock, msd distributor, ford powertrain application headers(pricey), hydralic clutch system. electric fuel pump, battery in trunk. bumpers recromed, tailamp lenses new nos. I took everything apart on this car and refurbished, rebuilt, or replaced it from the heater case to all window regulators, door latches, insturment cluster, seats, wiper linkage, its all been rebuilt. you could drive this car anywhere its basically a new car. have taken several 200 mile trips and the car is great on the expressway.

Watch the Hennessey Ford GT makes its record run at Texas Mile
Wed, 27 Mar 2013We said they'd probably be out with an official video, we did not lie. The Hennessey-powered camouflage Ford GT sat at one end of the runway at the Texas Mile sitting still. At the other end of the runway it had broken its own speed record, the twin-turbo 5.7-liter V8 pushing the aerodynamic supercar up to 267.6 miles per hour, a 4.3-mph improvement over the old mark.
There's not much in the video you haven't already seen, this just makes it official. That said, who doesn't want to see a twin-turbo Ford GT set an incredible speed record? You can watch it below.

Fiat boss Elkann being mentored by... Bill Ford?
Tue, 26 Mar 2013Fiat Chairman John Elkann has been turning to an unusual source for advice on the car business. While speaking during an interview with The Detroit News, Elkann said he often asks Bill Ford Jr. for advice on how to proceed with the turnaround at Chrysler. "It's great to have the opportunity to share this with someone like Bill, who has experienced many things and gone through many things ... especially linked to Detroit." Elkann said.
As the Agnelli family heir, Elkann has inherited a long and fruitful friendship with the Ford family. While Giovanni Agnelli built his first Fiat four years before Henry Ford created his first vehicle, it was Ford that showed Agnelli the benefits of mass production and helped pave the way for what would become the Fiat empire.
Giovanni's grandson, Gianni, helped mentor Bill Ford when he was elected chairman of Ford Motor Company. Now, Ford is returning the favor by helping Elkann navigate the automotive industry's tumultuous waters.
